Safety assistance systems

By your side.

No matter what you move with your truck, the most important thing is an accident-free journey. The Mercedes‑Benz Trucks assistance systems can help you keep an eye on everything and manoeuvre your vehicle on the road in a controlled manner – especially in critical situations. We not only fulfil the legal EU standards for safety assistance systems that will apply from mid-2024 – in some cases we even exceed them. But from a Mercedes‑Benz truck, we would expect nothing less.

Turning and lane changing

Active Sideguard Assist 2.

The advanced, second generation of Active Sideguard Assist can support drivers across the entire speed range when changing lanes or turning with restricted visibility. What's more, the two-stage warning system can alert drivers to potential hazards so that they can mitigate a critical traffic situation in good time.

Braking

Active Brake Assist 6.

The sixth generation of Active Brake Assist offers enhanced environmental detection with its 270° fusion technology. This allows the system to react even faster to critical situations, for example when approaching stationary or flowing traffic.
It can also detect pedestrians and cyclists in the lane, whether crossing or oncoming. If a potential collision is detected, Active Brake Assist 6 can react with automated emergency braking in the speed range up to 60 km/h.

Moving off and manoeuvring

Front Guard Assist.

Front Guard Assist can increase driving safety even before drivers set off. It monitors the traffic area in front of the vehicle and supports the driver in the speed range up to 15 km/h, e.g. when the vehicle is stationary, when moving off or at junctions. If the system detects moving objects in front of the vehicle, such as people, the warning system can help the driver react in good time with a two-stage hazard warning.

Keeping in lane and keeping a safe distance

Active Drive Assist 3.

The latest generation of Active Drive Assist offers even more safety and comfort, especially on long journeys. From automatic proximity control (including in stop-and-go traffic in traffic jams) to smart Lane Keeping Assist and the Emergency Steering function: if there is a risk of collision when changing lanes, the system can actively intervene and steer your truck back into its own lane. For example, if a health problem causes you to stop driving, the hands-off warning can initiate controlled emergency braking if you fail to react.
